There is a difference between having a good chuckle at a joke and making fun of women/gay/lesbians. But that must be a personal opinion.


Im not seeing how they are making an offencive joke at all

If you look at Bioware's writing team before jumping to conclusions about them, you'll find they're some of the most supportive of gay rights in the entire industry. 




While you are right about that, it is franchise/playerbase ain't supportive of gay people. They know little boundaries on fantasy fiction games.

Also I like the name "Steve". However can't understand what's the deal with hispanic m/m options (Zevran and Steve)... Am I missing something?

I think I can write it here as it's out of being spoiler at this moment. According to SA guy Steve first intended to be blonde with light skin. Why all ME LI must have dark hair? (Not counting Kelly, probably she's dying her hair).Posted Image

It doesn't seem to be a bug because there are no files for the other love interests.


I. r. confoozed... :huh:

Highlight:
There's a file for Ashley to show up in the flashback. There's a file for Kaidan to show up. There's a file for Liara to show up.
But none of the other love interests.
Which means that they either forgot to include the other love interests, or they didn't care to.



where are you getting this from because could it just be from an unfinished version of the game as I just dont buy bioware leaving it like that unless there plan is like loftsb and fix it in dlc

From a guy's spoilers who happen to have space copy of the game. So it is final for PS3 at least.

I don't think I understand.


After doing [thing], the orchestra swells and Shepard remembers people who were important to him/her right before the consequences of the final choice play out. 

(Re: the specifics of those choices - I like it. People have the ending they wanted, if they work for it, and there's a bunch of other interesting things to mess with the universe.)



So it's like an ending of sorts, where the picture of Shepard's loved ones fade in while a flag waves in the background... Okay. It's not a playable flashback, that's what I wanted to know.

If ANY of my playthroughs get to that point and show me the picture of my most hated character in the franchise, I'll start over the entire playthrough. And if said character's picture is flagged to appear always, I will karate chop everything in my reach when I hear about it.

That's not the case, right? Is that the "bug" you guys are talking about?

I think that in ME cannon Humanity is suffering from a shrinking bio-diversity, blonde are extinct (except through gene-mods) and red-heads are rarer too. Although it's ironic as it the red-heads in RL that are suppose to be extinct by 2030.

I think it was Liara's dad, actually :P Benezia was her mum.

Yeah, that confused me - she's definitely in there, there's a quest about it. 

And Aria/Omega have lines, Mike Gamble said on a British web interview that he liked Aria's character in ME3.

1)kelly hardly counted as a romance in ME2 she was a fling and thats it (plus females still had Liara)
2)own face? well Dianna got one because $$$$$$ and try get high reviews from ign also other than sheploo face scanning has been horrid in this series (points to Miranda who looks more like damn michael jackson than her VA)
3) its pretty clear by now he isnt bi plus kaidan is also most likley bi as well
4)he may not be a squad member but they didnt half ass the amount of dialogue he has and id like to point out that not all romance options are that important any way (Thane and Garrus for example dont bring much to the overall plot and inface you dont even need to recruit thane in me2 or garrus in me1 plus both can die)


Exactly my point. Kelly was a fling. All Paramour romances were full-fleged squad members. So when Casey Hudson said there was gonna be a male same-sex love interest it was expected to be a squadmate, not a crew member. As for the face, be that as it may, an effort was made to create a special, nice face for Allers, but not for Cortez apparently. Having him be exclusively gay wasn't exactly asked for either. Squad member... It's not just dialogue on the ship, it's also taking them to a mission, them commenting on what's happening in the world and reacting to what Shepard does, fighting alongside them and them being fighters.
Obviously a lot of people wanted/want Kaidan and another load James. The devs insisted on creating this new character. If he was a men only romanceable squad member I would applaud them and yes it lovely he's gay and not bi, but this also means the devs didn't think it worthwhile to make one of the 22 squad members gay.

Not a problem for mShep/Kaidan, but... I imagine a lot of other forumgoers would be pretty annoyed.

You're kind-of missing the point, they are not gay, their romance is not exclusive to a PC of the same gender. It also took 2 whole games to get to a point where a PC of the same gender could even romance them.

If this really is true, it will be best to stay away from the BSN after launch, because that will bring on a rage we have not seen until now. Just think of it, the Talimancers would gang up with the Mirandalovers and the Garrus-fangirls. BioWare would have to delete the BSN and pretend this website never existed after that.

What you said about red-heads is disturbing tho'. It means one less diversity for humans.Posted Image

Honestly, I think the bug's pretty funny. I want a mod that lets Shepard remember an army of people I've never cared about. I want a five-minute sepia toned flashback to that time Shepard thought he was asking for money but instead got ninja "romanced" by the Consort.

The characters are supposed to have dark hair because light hair is recessive and people of the future are more mixed. Apparently, some book character's blonde hair is uncommon because of this. It's science fact that a more integrated world would result in a mostly white-looking, dark-but-straight-haired population. It's kind of a goofy explanation. Where's your post-racial one world government now, ObamaHarper?? I don't know if the lore's more complicated than this- weren't the nations of earth like barely united or not at all before alien contact?

An unholy alliance.

Yeah.

Though I'd agree with them - not taking the time to put the other LIs in a scene that important is crazy.

Humans have always had poor genetic diversity. Two humans from opposite corners of the world have less difference in genetic make-up than two Orangutans from the same patch of rainforrest. There is only one animal that I know of that has less genetic diversity than us and that is the Cheetah.

I'm trying to interrogate him, asking for specifics on if he had committed to Liara before he attempted to flirt with Ashley. Other sources are saying she's bi, so maybe he did something wrong to lock her out.


Yeah, probably that's it.


*I'm kinda sad that the others from ME2 are not squadmates as far as we know...i'm gonna miss Jack so much.
It also would be lame if the ''bug'' is true.:pinched:

Also sticking Joker in our eye on every damn playthrough is unforgivable.

I know I am minority on that one but I don't like him. I can never like a guy who would cause my dead because of his idiocy then act like nothing happened and on top of that complaining about loosing "his" ship again while I am in a life/death situation. If I could I would kick him out into void and let EDI helm the ship after Derelict Reaper mission.Posted Image

Actually if the aliens spread throughtout their own homeworlds the way we did, then the Asari and potentially the Salarians have less genetic diversity than we do. Due to how amphibians reproduce and the drawbacks that come with how the Asari reproduce (sorry but am having trouble spelling the proper word).

Rightly so.
I'm tired of the other character getting shoved in my face.
